We do not accept cash payments at the Council's offices but you can apply for a swipe card which you can then take together with your cash to any Post Office or any shop displaying either a PayPoint, PAYzone or e-pay sign. For your nearest outlet, see details at www.allpay.net (External website**).
There are other ways to pay which are listed below but the Council's preferred method is Direct Debit.
If you are a Council tenant, you will automatically be sent a swipe card to pay your rent. Anyone wanting a swipe card for any other payment will need to apply for one.
If you do not have time to visit our offices you can pay your bills by telephone at any time of the day or night. These payments can be made using your Debit Card (Switch, Maestro or Delta) by phoning 0845 129 8117, please have your card details and bill reference number ready. Payments by Credit Card (Mastercard, Visa or Eurocard) will also be accepted if you are paying your bill in full or half-yearly (we will not accept monthly instalments).
You can also pay your bill by cheque. If the cheque is for a main fund payment (ie. Council Tax, Housing Rent, Sundry Accounts or Business Rates) you should make the cheque payable to High Peak Borough Council and send it to:
